Abstract: Influence of Carboxypeptidase B corona on polystyrene nanoparticles on the toxicity for Daphnia Magna Florian Grohmann Introduction: This project investigated the expression, purification and influence on the toxicity, of small polystyrene nanoparticles (53 nm) on Daphnia Magna, of Carboxypeptidase B. Background: Nanoparticles have become increasingly of interest for the science communi
This master’s thesis has examined the feasibility of an accumulator-based actuation method for the BorgWarner (BW) electric torque vectoring and disconnect (eTVD) system. The requirements for the proposed concepts were defined based on the performance of the baseline eTVD and served as reference criteria throughout the development process. A strong emphasis was placed on reducing system complexit
This thesis analyses how welfare, entitlement and welfare subjects are discursively constructed in the policy process surrounding the proposed qualification requirements for social insurance benefits and financial assistance, as part of the Swedish social benefit reform, ‘bidragsreformen’. Drawing on Norman Fairclough’s three-dimensional model of discourse analysis, the study examines the governme
Konsumtion handlar inte enbart om att köpa varor och tjänster, utan också om att kommunicera vem man är eller vill vara. I takt med att sociala medier har blivit en mer central del av många unga vuxnas vardag aktualiseras frågan om hur digitala konsumtionsideal får betydelse för identitetsskapande. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur konsumtion fungerar som ett medel för identitetsskapand
Mandatory B2B e-invoicing is expanding across the EU under a shared harmonisation agenda, yet Member States have adopted substantially different governance arrangements for how invoices are exchanged, validated, and reported. This thesis investigates how regulation affects the implementation of mandatory B2B e-invoicing and how governance model variation shapes the conditions organisations face du
Granulation converts fine powders into granules with desired physical properties, minimising dustiness, ingredient segregation, and handling hazards. Within Novonesis solid enzyme products, granulation enables higher enzyme activity and stability while preventing dust release. This thesis focused on high shear wet granulation, a complex process associated with high variability, influenced by equip
As generative AI becomes increasingly integrated into organisations, its negative environmental impact is also growing. Despite this, such impacts remain limited from sustainability reporting. This study examines how organisations navigate the lack of established information infrastructures for reporting the environmental impact of generative AI. Using a qualitative approach based on semi-structur
Denna uppsats är en undersökning av fem för språkvård- och forskning relevanta kvantitativa grammatiska variabler i svenska tidningsartiklar och lärobokstexter, samt på svenska myndighetshemsidor. Syftet är att jämföra med Margareta Westmans undersökning Bruksprosa (1974), för att på så vis kunna säga något om hur genrerna utvecklats samt att erbjuda språkvården moderna jämförelsesiffror. Variable
FinTech payment solutions have become an embedded part of Generation Z’s everyday life in Sweden, yet how trust is formed among these users remains unclear. Existing research often treats trust as a unidimensional construct and assumes that greater knowledge leads to more informed behaviour. This qualitative study investigates how the interaction between digital fluency and digital literacy shapes
Biodiversity hotspots are biogeographic regions exceptionally rich in endemic species showing high rates of habitat loss, making them the priority of global conservation efforts. As part of the biodiversity hotspot with the highest density of endemic species, the West Usambara Mountains in Tanzania require an efficient and resourceful monitoring solution. This thesis aimed to model the tree specie
By investigating feminised lifestyle trends such as the ‘Clean Girl’ and ‘Trad Wife’, this research seeks to unpack the distinct identity tensions young women experience when navigating the contradiction between the ideal of ‘consuming less’ and the continuous consumption required to perform these lifestyles online. The empirical material is analysed through an integrated theoretical framework com
This study investigates if socio-economic indicators can reliably be derived from remotely sensed data and can serve as proxies for detecting and monitoring the spatial impacts of the violent conflict in the Mopti region of Mali. Traditional conflict event databases - like the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) – provide point-based event data but often fail to capture gradua
Denna studie undersöker hur användningen av generativ AI påverkar systemutvecklares arbetssätt och professionella roll. Studien tar sin utgångspunkt i att AI-verktyg i allt större utsträckning används för kodgenerering, felsökning och lösningsförslag, vilket förändrar relationen mellan mänskligt arbete och tekniskt stöd. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer med yrkesverksamma systemutvecklare analyseras h
The present study employed a mixed-methods design to examine meaningful work, workplace social capital, and turnover intention among paid youth counselors in a Danish nonprofit mental health organization. In prosocial nonprofit work, meaningfulness may be closely tied to the purpose of the work, yet intentions to remain may also reflect the social and organizational conditions under which work is
Needle traits are key indicators of plant physiological status and play an important role in ecosystem modelling and carbon flux estimations. This study investigates how specific leaf area (SLA), needle length and the carbon to nitrogen ratio (C:N) vary across canopy height (vertical gradient) and needle age (temporal gradient) in Norway spruce (Picea abies). The study was conducted on two contras
The Arctic is warming rapidly leading to the development of new thermokarst landscape features. Among the most rapidly developing landforms are retrogressive thaw slumps. The largest known thaw slump is the Batagay megaslump located in the Sakha republic, Russia. This thesis aims to assess the thaw slumps growth’ and yearly retreat rates through systematic digitization of openly accessible satelli
Microplastics are becoming an increasingly bigger problem, and there are currently around 150 million tons of plastic in the ocean. Most plastic in the ocean was released on land and then transported to the ocean. There are, however, microplastics released directly into the ocean, for example from boat paint. This study will investigate paint microplastic released from the storage area in a Swedis
Detta arbete undersökte vilken av Honesty-Humility och machiavellianism som var den starkaste förklaringsmodellen för emotionell manipulation i sociala interaktioner. Metoden var en kvantitativ tvärsnittsstudie med 163 deltagare som besvarade en enkät som bestod av tre självskattningstester: HEXACO med 60 items, MACH-IV och Emotional Manipulation Scale. Resultaten visade att båda förklaringsmodellThis study aimed to explore which model between Honesty-Humility and machiavellianism that best could explain emotional manipulation in social interactions. The method was a quantitative cross-sectional study with 163 participants who answered a survey that consisted of three self-report tests: HEXACO with 60 items, MACH-IV and Emotional Manipulation Scale (EMS). The result showed that both models
